Do not damage the power cord.
When not in use, disconnect the power cord from the outlet.
Grasp the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the unit.
If water should enter the unit, electrical shock or a malfunction
may result. Use in an area where there is low humidity and
little dust.
Do not disassemble or alter the unit in any way.
Do not use the unit in areas where extremes in temperature
occur (below 40°F (5°C) or exceeding 95°F (35°C)), or where
it may be exposed to direct sunlight.
Because of the DVD video player’s extremely low noise and
wide dynamic range, there is a tendency to set the volume on
the amplifier higher than necessary. Doing so may produce
an excessively high output from the amplifier which can
cause damage to your speakers. Please be careful in this
regard.
Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause
dew to form on the optical pickup lens inside the unit. Under
this condition the unit may be unable to operate properly. If
this should occur, remove the disc and allow the unit to adjust
to the surrounding temperature.
FOR SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
CAUTION:
The sub-woofer (powered speaker) and the rear speaker
(powered speaker) must be placed in a well ventilated area.
Do not place any object on the top of these units.

The cabinet of these units warms up when it is used for a long
time, but it is not a malfunction.
When carrying the unit, be sure to remove a disc which
may be inside and turn the power off. Then unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet after 10 seconds. Carrying
the unit with a disc inside may damage the disc and/or
the unit.
The unit is automatically set to the Screen Saver mode
after approximately 5 minutes have elapsed under the
stop or pause mode.

Additional Connection Examples
Headphones jack (PHONES)
Connect a pair of stereo headphones with miniplug (8 ohms - 32
ohms, not available from SANYO) to the PHONES jack for
monitoring or for private listening. The speakers are automatically
disconnected when headphones are connected.
Audio cable (not supplied)
TV
To enjoy your TV sounds
If your TV has the audio output jacks,
connect an audio cable (not supplied)
from the audio output jacks of the TV to
the AUX jacks.
The FM indoor antenna lead wire is sufficient to receive most
local FM broadcasts and should be connected to the rear FM
75 terminal. Extend the antenna lead wire as straight as possible
and, while listening to the sound from the system, secure it in a
position where the best FM reception is found.
In fringe areas, or where reception is distorted or noisy, an FM
outdoor antenna (not supplied) should be connected instead of
the FM indoor antenna lead wire. The terminals will accept 75-
ohm coaxial cable.
Note:
To minimize noise...
Do not place the antenna close to a TV or speaker.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines
for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Power Supply
(Sub-woofer and Rear Speaker)
Connect the power cord to a 120VAC 60Hz outlet.
The sub-woofer (powered speaker) and the rear speaker (powered
speaker) are equipped with a polarized plug. If you have difficulty
inserting the plug, turn it over and reinsert it. If these speakers
will not be used for a long time, disconnect the AC plug from the
AC outlet.
Notes:
Before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, make sure
that all the connections have been made.
The sub-woofer (powered speaker) is not disconnected from
